Politeness is essential to marital bliss.

According to court papers, Dylan Lee blamed everything on an argument.

He told investigators he and his new bride were fighting about chores when he pulled out a gun and shot her phone.

He says he then accidentally shot her as she tried to reach for the gun.

The bride survived. I suspect that the marriage may not.

(Really. He was going to shoot the phone?)

Politeness is a family value.

A 9-year-old girl has died after being shot in the head by her 10-year-old brother outside a Campbell County pizza shop in what appears to have been an accident, authorities said.

Play politely.

Three men who claimed they were injured in a drive-by shooting overnight actually were hit by a shot accidentally fired by one of the three in the back seat of a car, police said.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid,
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Be polite to your friends.

The 40-year-old gun owner was showing his .380-Beretta semi-automatic handgun to a 49-year-old Paterson man when “the gun discharged one round, striking the gun owner in his left hand and his friend in the right hip,” Fair Lawn Police Sgt. Brian Metzler said in a prepared statement.

. . . and another gun fires itself.

Practice random acts of politeness.

The woman was standing in her front yard when she was hit in the chest by a single gunshot, according to a press release. The shot had come from a residence across the street.

A 63-year-old male was identified as the accidental shooter, the injury a result of unsafe use of a firearm. The bullet had gone through a wall of the house before hitting the woman.

For the sake of the children, fill your home with politeness.

They say the two children were in the master bedroom when it happened. The children were getting guns out of the gun safe that is kept in an area between the master bedroom and master bathroom.

Officials say the safe was locked but the boy knew where the key was. The little girl took out an unloaded glock pistol, and the boy pulled out a .22 magnum rifle with a bullet in the chamber but no magazine. That’s when the little boy fired the gun, hitting the girl.

Surround your family with a cocoon of politeness.

According to police, the 41-year-old mother’s handgun fell from her holster at which time she attempted to catch it. The mother, however, grabbed the trigger, shooting herself in the leg.

Police say the bullet then ricocheted off the concrete, striking the woman’s 15-year-old daughter in the leg as well.

Politeness plays in Peoria.

Rear your children with politeness.

The investigation into the circumstances of the fatal accident revealed that two children were left in the care of an adult family member while the parents were at work. That adult told officers that after stepping out of the kitchen, one of the children took a loaded handgun out of the kitchen cupboard and inadvertently shot himself in the upper body.

Shower your neighbors with politeness.

He (Radcliffe, Ky., police chief Jeff Cross–ed.) said Howell was cleaning his weapons as he prepared to leave town when a shot was fired from a Glock 9mm gun. The shot went through a wall in Howell’s residence on Applewood Lane near John Hardin High School, Cross said, went through a window and struck a piece of furniture in a bedroom of another residence.

The story goes on the say that no charges will be filed because, for some fool reason, this has been determined to have been a “bad accident,” rather than, say, for example, just to suggest a term, criminally stupid.

Yet another responsible gun owner . . .

Deputies said the 12-year-old and a 7-year-old found a gun in a bag, gave it to a woman and while they handed it to her, the gun went off.

The woman said she gave the weapon to a man named Randall Cannon, who lives in the house where the accident happened, and he took it with him to an unknown location, deputies said.

. . . and yet another gun that fires itself.

Expose your children to politeness at an early age.

The 8-year-old boy who was found dead Tuesday at a home on Church Street died of a gunshot wound to the head after his father’s loaded 12-gauge shotgun went off as the boy was handling it, state officials said Wednesday.

Parker Stevens had been handling the gun inside a closet in his parents’ second-floor bedroom when it fired, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner said. State police detectives said the Mossberg shotgun had eight shells in the gun’s magazine tube, and the boy apparently racked one of the shells into the chamber before he fired the gun.

Politeness takes practice.

Officials say one employee shot 28-year-old David Lopez, another employee, during some kind of training at the Mission Ridge Range and Academy in Shavano Park. Police say that the victim was transported to a local hospital shortly after crews arrived at the scene. Lopez is in good condition at University Hospital, as of Wednesday afternoon.

Drive politely.

Police said they received a call just before noon on Saturday that a man in a white pickup truck was using a handgun to scare pedestrians. Officers found the vehicle near 415 Park St., and arrested Barreto.

Get an unload of all the politeness.

After an investigation, troopers say the 17-year-old from Wells River was attempting to unload a .22-caliber revolver when he discharged it into his right hand.

Whatever happened to “make sure the gun isn’t pointing at anything unless you mean to shoot it”?

Rear your children to behave in a polite manner.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department officials said the 4-year-old boy got access to the weapon and accidentally opened fire, killing the 2-year-old girl.

Thus doth the NRA’s campaign for courtesy etch another bullet point in its presentation.
